Queen of fashion : what Marie Antoinette wore to the revolution
Weber, Caroline, 1969-2007
Books
Revealing how Marie Antoinette's bold attempts to reshape royal fashion changed the future of the French nation, this title surveys her 'Revolution in Dress', beginning with the young girl accustomed to Austria's more relaxed style, then struggling to cope with the organ-crushing whalebone corsets and vast hoop skirts of Versailles.
